    Well at the start of this past weekend my wife and I both had 2010 Mini Cooper S's. Well with my wife being 8 months pregnant a the date closing in, we knew something needed to be done. The car seats we picked out do not fit in the back of the cars, so the journey began. On Saturday we traded my wife's black MCS in on a 2012 VW Passat. What a nice car for the price. All the room in the world for the family and all the things that go along with the new family.

    Talking about it the entire day after picking up her car, I didn't want to get rid of my Pepper White MCS but something had to be done...so I journeyed over to Mini of Fort Myers and by the time I left...I drove off the lot with a 2012 Black Mini Countrymen S. Almost everythig in it that I wanted, the only thing missing was the Xenon headlights but no big deal. I actually have been wanting one for a while and just pulled the trigger finally. A lot of things planned but one thing at a time. The first mod is the Britax Cowmuflag car seat!!! :cornut:

    You read my mind!
    LOL!
    With 1 in college and another starting in the fall, new cars aren't on the menu here.
    Good on you for getting it while you can.
    Congratulations on all the changes in your life.
    May they all bring you joy!

    I'm so glad you have at least one MINI in the family. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks for all the well wishes...No I will be holding onto this one for a while. I actually didn't even want to get rid of the R56 but it was needed. I really love my CMS and waiting till I get a day with sun so I can get shine it up and take pictures of it. I had the scuttles, mirror caps and brake ducts painted Spice Orange and looks awesome but with the daily rain here in Florida it has kept me from getting some good pictures.
